Notice.

The ladies' of St. Columba's congregation
are making preparations to hold fair for
the erection Of the new academy, under the
direction of the Sisters Of Mercy. 1t is we'll
known that the present building is by no
means adequate to school purposes. The
Sisters intend to commence the new build
ing in the spring and it is hoped that they
will then be able to give ample accommoda-
tions to their pupils.
The ladies are making strenuous efforts
for the success Of the fair, and, it must be
added that the gentlemen are seconding
their exertions.
The fair will open Jan %, 1888, at the
new Armory hall. A most exquisite dis.
play of tapestry and other ornamental work
will be among the attractions.
The ladies call upon ALL to unite with
them in their efforts for so laudable and
necessary an undertaking.
